Jon Lowry - Half the Man I Used to Be Lyrics

I used to carry a heavy prison of steel
I had a closet of dusty bones to conceal
Traveling with so much baggage
It took all I had just to drag it around
I met a stranger. He already knew me by name
He carried a cross and asked if I'd like to trade
All of my lead for feathers
My gold for treasures that would not weigh me down

Now I'm not half the man I used to be
A weight's been lifted off of me
I let my worries rest in peace
Now I'm not half the man I used to be

I gave him dirty He gave me a robe made of white
My heart of cold steel He breathed it back into life
He took my guilty record wiped it clean forever
With His innocent blood

Now I'm not half the man I used to be
A weight's been lifted off of me
I let my worries rest in peace
Now I'm not half the man I used to be

No more shame, Get off my back
No more shadows, Get off my back
No heavy weight, Get off my back
Ain't gonna carry you
Carry you no more
No more pride, Get off my back
No more judgement, Get off my back
No more lies, Get off my back
Ain't gonna carry you
Carry you no more

Now I'm not half the man I used to be
A weight's been lifted off of me
I let my worries rest in peace
Now I'm not half the man I used to be
